jcompiler

A compiler for the J programming language.

Documentation

The latest API reference for the master branch is available here.

Usage

You will need LLVM and Rust installed.

$ cargo build --release

You can then compile and run programs as follows:

$ target/release/jcompiler j_examples/test.ijs $ ./test Hello World!

By default, jcompiler compiles programs to executables that run on the current machine. You can explicitly specify architecture using LLVM target triples:

$ target/release/jcompiler j_examples/test.ijs --target=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

Running tests

$ cargo test

TODO

• Move integration_tests.sh to src/tests/compiler_tests.rs.
• Improve parser/compiler error messages (especially using ansi_term crate).
• Thoroughly document library code using inline rustdoc comments, publicly host at accessible URL.
• Add crates.io, docs icons to README.md.
• Add precompiled binaries for each tagged release in GitHub.
